​Your PC Must Be Très Magnifique For Assassin's Creed Unity

The next big Assassin’s Creed game, Unity, looks like it’s going to be very pretty and very French. Both are pg123 good things in my book—though given that I can’t actually speak French and my last name is “LeJacq,” I might be a tad biased. There’s one thing we can all agree on, however: its PC requirements are insane. https://kotaku.com/heres-how-incroyable-paris-looks-in-assassins-creed-uni-1620018718 Here’s the rundown of Unity’s PC specs, as posted on Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed blog earlier today:cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1649966892","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); 64-bit operating system Required Supported OS Windows 7 SP1, Windows 8/8.1 (64bit versions only) Processor Minimum Intel Core i5-2500K @ 3.3 GHz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz or AMD Phenom II x4 940 @ 3.0 GHz Recommended Intel Core i7-3770 @ 3.4 GHz or AMD FX-8350 @ 4.0 GHz or better RAM Minimum 6 GB Recommended 8GB Video Card Minimum NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 or AMD Radeon HD 7970 (2 GB VRAM) Recommended NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 or AMD Radeon R9 290X (3 GB VRAM) DirectX Version 11 Sound Card DirectX 9.0c compatible sound card with latest drivers Hard Drive Space 50 GB available space Peripherals Supported Windows-compatible keyboard and mouse required, optional controller Multiplayer 256 kbps or faster broadband connection Supported Video Cards at Time of Release NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 or better, GeForce GTX 700 series; AMD Radeon HD7970 or better, Radeon R9 200 series Note: Laptop versions of these cards may work but are NOT officially supported. 50 GB of free hard drive space sounds like a lot, though that’s fairly standard for Assassin’s Creed-sized games at this point—as is the 8GB of RAM, and the base-level CPUs. What stands out to me are the minimum requirements for video cards. Making something like Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 680 the base level requirements means that you’ll pretty much have to be running a PC with a high-end GPU that came out in the past few years years. For a point of comparison, many of the season’s other powerhouse titles like Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare or Middle-Earth: Shadow of Mordor have a base-level requirement of a GTS 450 h25 com เข้าสู่ระบบ or GTX 460 respectively. Lest we get caught in the illegible acronym-riddled weeds of graphics cards comparisons, the important thing to note here is that both of these other games say that you’ll be able to play them with tech that’s quite a bit older, and quite a bit cheaper, than what Assassin’s Creed Unity is asking for. Granted, Unity is also a next-gen only game, and Ubisoft has promised that it will boast the biggest city ever seen in the series’ history, so maybe the steep requirements will be worth it at the end of the day. In either case, Unity isn’t out in the wild yet, so (as always), take Ubisoft’s statement about its recommended specs with a grain of salt. Come November, the PC gamers among us should also keep watchful eye on how Unity’s performance is affected by whether its running on an AMD or Nvidia card, since Ubisoft inked a deal with the latter company that covers the new Assassin’s Creed game—a deal that could prove to be fodder for yet another chapter in the card makers’ ongoing tiff UPDATE (5:05 pm): Some people have observed that my use of “très magnifique” in the headline isn’t technically correct. I intended for this to be a joke. Seeing as I’m a semi-French person with an exceedingly French name who doesn’t actually speak the language, however, I should have been more careful in my presentation. I apologize for misleading or confusing people unnecessarily. To contact the author โค้ดเครดิตฟรีสมาชิกใหม่ล่าสุด of this post, write to [email protected] or find him on Twitter at @YannickLeJacq
